Welcome to OLMC Parramatta.
We invite you to browse and see the great opportunities for students at the College.
The spirit of the OLMC community is truly manifest at the College.
On any given day there will be a cake stall, a playground concert, a teacher versus student sporting match, a creative fundraiser or some exciting event generally organised by students.
Independent research shows that OLMC students consistently achieve strong academic results which are consistently well above the average results across all schools in NSW (government and independent).
OLMC offers a quality Catholic education in the Mercy Tradition in a supportive culture of excellence.
Read about the latest news and achievements from our students, staff and the OLMC community.
A vibrant, busy and constantly challenging, values driven community, each Mercy Girl has the opportunity to develop to her potential. Whether it is achieving excellence in the HSC, playing in the orchestra, debating, participating in prayer and social justice programs, or doing it all, each girl will find a special niche.

Once again the spirit of OLMC shone through at this year’s Athletics Carnival, held for the first time at the Blacktown Olympic Athletics Centre. Blessed with glorious weather, the carnival was a great success with Mercy girls achieving brilliant results on the field, cheered on by enthusiastic girls in the stands. The day was about celebrating excellence, commitment, College spirit and enjoying our wonderful community. The new house shirts were a fantastic addition to the always colour and inventive carnival attire.

Principal of Marian College Christchurch, Ms Anna Heffernan, addressed Year 8 girls on Friday 4 May to thank them for their support offered after the devastating 2011 earthquake.
In July 2011, Year 7 girls, eager to respond to the devastating earthquake, raised funds to help students affected. The Year 7 Year Coordinator at the time, Ms Herd, who knew staff at Marian College, arranged with her classes to have gold coin donation days to raise funds to buy shopping centre vouchers to send to the New Zealand students.
Ms Heffernan says the contribution was not only amazingly generous but thoughtful: “It was not 3 weeks since these girls started at the school and it was destroyed – we had no sewage, water or power. We have been at two different sites since the earthquake – it really wasn’t much fun for that whole year. The vouchers were really exactly what the girls needed to boost their spirits - they were genuinely excited about it.
“This trip gives me a great opportunity for me to say thanks to the girls and let them know the real difference they made in the lives of girls their own age. I also have the chance to see OLMC Parramatta’s brand new facilities to get some ideas of best practice for when we rebuild. Being a Mercy school, it’s also always great to see Mercy values in action at another school and get a sense of how the Mercy Charism is at another College”, said Ms Heffernan.
The College was bursting with colour and the smiles of primary school girls and their families as the OLMC Year 7 class for 2014 came along to the Enrolment Information Evening on 2nd April. There were tours of the College, talks by staff and students in the hall, music performances in Christina Creede Music Centre all capped off with a BBQ put on by the OLMC P&F.
Hear about some of great things these four talented Mercy Girls have been achieving since they left school and how their time at the College shaped and continues to influence their lives.
